I am one of those don’t-speak-to-me-in-the-morning-before-my-first-cup-of-coffee people.

I usually take my coffee as strong and black as possible, but now that the days are longer and the weather is hot, my mind turns towards iced coffee and sweeter brews.

So when a friend of mine, Abigail, posted an iced coffee recipe on Facebook, it took no time for me to try it out. The original recipe talks about making ice brewed coffee and then mixing it with a homemade creamer.

I’m impatient.

I don’t want to take the time to make a vat of ice brewed coffee, which takes overnight in the refrigerator. So instead, I decided to make the suggested sweetener and use leftover brewed coffee.

The sweetener includes:

1, 12oz can of evaporated milk

1, 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

Simply mix the two cans together and add a little bit to a glass of ice and cold coffee.
